jedimasterben Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 I have one. No clue where it is, but it always pissed off at something! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Ordered a Corsair Obsidian 250D and a Gigabyte Z97N Mini-ITX board, along with a Swiftech MCR140-X Rad/Res/Pump and a few more Bitspower fittings so I can rework the water loop to fit. Right now I'm using a pair of DDC3.1 with an XSPC top going through two Swiftech MCR-320-QP rads. I will have the Swiftech 140mm and I also have a 240mm Swiftech XP rad that will be going in it. Will be interesting to go from a 16x12x21 50+lb behemoth with wires and shit going everywhere to an 11x14x11 all-enclosed setup. This is the current system for reference. Link to comment

I love the 250d, so much easier to work in than most itx cases, although why no Z170? Link to comment

hey Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 the obsidian looks pretty great I considered it but cheaped out and went with a CM elite 130, cant complain though a fully modular power supply is a must, I wish i coulda found some shorty cords though I like cleaner wiring but I wasn't about to start cutting and refitting. I don't run anything demanding in it or I woulda thought about a custom cooling solution... they look fun to build lol. Link to comment

It's challenging to get it just right, and it's awesome. Can be very expensive, though, even a basic CPU/GPU loop will run you into $400-500 all said and done. BUT - basically everything except the GPU block can be reused. My two pumps are over 10 years old. I have a Seasonic X650 Gold I got in 2011, so probably will end up getting a new one at some point. It's still in warranty for another three years, but I like to replace them long before that. [H]ardOCP did a review after 7 years of use on a power supply that was fantastic when they got it, not so great after a few years http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/03/09/silverstone_olympia_1000w_power_supply_7_year_redux/#.VjINP_mrTGg Link to comment

ReefWeeds Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Hey!! How's the sinularia doing? Did it make it? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Cute family-BUT did I see a pager? no, that's my pancreas. Hey!! How's the sinularia doing? Did it make it? I honestly don't know, I haven't checked it in a little while. It wasn't doing so hot after being in the holding tank and had receded significantly, but still had plenty of live flesh near the base, so I cut it and put it in the back of the tank so that I would be surprised the next time I see it. I'll look tonight! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Well, shit, figured if I didn't try and water cool the 250D, I'd be able to upgrade to a 980 Ti. Boom. Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Benny do you have any loc line and fittings to spare in 3/4"? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 Benny do you have any loc line and fittings to spare in 3/4"?I do, but it would cost as much to ship as you can get 6" on amazon, and i think inonly have like 4" of it. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EHCFFG/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1446300494&sr=1&keywords=loc+line+3%2F4 Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 So I narrowed it down to MPT loc line adapter 2X 6" loc line tubes and a nozzle Seems the spray bar does not come in 3/4" or in black. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Well, 'Operation: Dickload of nerites' is a failure. Bastards just chill out at the water's surface on the tank walls, they don't go near the rocks, and they don't keep the glass clean. Sigh. Hopefully I can find mexican turbos somewhere. oh, and lost both the pygmy hawkfish and starry blenny on Monday while I was at work. No clue what happened, the jawfish and springer's damsel were both fine, and no ammonia. Hadn't even started medicating the tank yet. Link to comment
metrokat Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Your QT tank probably needs to be sterilized. No. Don't argue, just do it Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 I drain it and dry it out every time I finish a round of meds and the fish come out. Link to comment
